I now use copy+paste mostly but its a tedious job, is there any easier way to do it? Thanks!

is there no bot that does it? like search for a keyword in google, use first 100 results and extract the titles?

Download SEO4Firefox or SEOQuake Plugin in Firefox and then use it to scrape Google search results with Title & URL. Cheers

PHP fucntion preg_match with right regexp can do it in seconds. Can wright it for you tomorrow.

Ok, thats what you need. save it with <? .. ?> on hosting with PHP support and run with usage tag key. For example
http://yoursite.com/get_titles.php?key=lolcats

PHP Code:


$keyword_p=urlencode($_GET['key']);
$input=file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/search?q=".$keyword_p."&hl=en&tbs=qdr:m&lr=&sa=X&tbo=1&num=100");
$regexp = "<li class=\"g\"><h3(.*)<\/h3>";

if(preg_match_all("/$regexp/siU", $input, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)) {

    foreach($matches as $match)     {

        $text=$match[0];

        $text=strip_tags($text);

        echo $text.'<br>';    }

} 


theres a bot called blog commenting *****

I think I saw it on the forum. but it scrapes the top 100 or so results from google

It's ok, problem in IP.

Try this code, if it will not work i'll give you link on script installed on my server.

PHP Code:

$keyword_p=urlencode($_GET['key']);$ch = curl_init('http://www.google.com/search?q='.trim($keyword_p).'&hl=en&lr=&sa=X&tbo=1&num=100');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, dirname (__FILE__)."/cookie.txt");curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, dirname (__FILE__)."/cookie.txt");$input = curl_exec($ch);

$regexp = "<li class=\"g\"><h3(.*)<\/h3>";
if(preg_match_all("/$regexp/siU", $input, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)) {
    foreach($matches as $match)     {
        $text=$match[0];
        $text=strip_tags($text);
        echo $text.'<br>';    }
}
